A major player in a notorious criminal gang supplying heroin, cocaine, and guns across Greater Manchester and the North West has been jailed after he was found with a Kinder Egg stashed with drugs inside.
The organised crime gang, who were based in Cheetham Hill, trafficked firearms and 'wholesale amounts' of heroin and cocaine throughout the UK.
Their complex operation was only unearthed when Encrochat, a popular encrypted communication and service provider used by high-profile criminals, was infiltrated by police in 2020.
